Explanation
The Berlin Wall was built in 1961 to stop the mass emigration of people from East Germany (GDR) to West Germany (FRG). It symbolized the division of Germany and the Cold War, highlighting the ideological and political differences between the communist East and the capitalist West. The fall of the wall in 1989 marked the beginning of the reunification process of Germany.
